Anti-government protesters have left Bangkok's main airports after an eight-day siege that has paralysed government and stymied tourism.
They packed up bedding before handing over both the international and domestic airports to the authorities.
The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) called off the protests and after a court banned Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat from politics.
The protests have left thousands of tourists stranded in Thailand.
The country has lost millions of dollars in revenue.
The PAD had been demanding the resignation of the prime minister, who they say is a proxy for deposed leader Thaksin Shinawatra.

Well at least this stand off ended without anyone getting killed. I think that the courts decision to end the government had a lot to do with the protectors leaving peacefully.
